< Chapter 29 Predators and + Points > Chapter 29 : Predators and Prey - 1 Chapter 29 : Predators and Prey ( Ethan's POV ) Parker Davis proved highly efficient , acquiring Olivia Winters ' Riverdale address by the very next day . I studied the information on my phone screen , my jaw tightening . " Riverdale Terrace Apartments , " I muttered , recognizing the location immediately . " Just an ordinary neighborhood . " The address was clearly in Riverdale territory - Connor Rivers ' domain . My fingers tightened around my phone as I considered the implications . Coincidentally , I was scheduled to head there soon to negotiate investments with the Silverridge Pack . A dark satisfaction spread through me . Perfect timing . " Sir , I've also confirmed she's been staying there regularly , " Parker added , his voice professionally detached . " Would you like me to arrange transportation for your visit to Riverdale ? " I dismissed him with a wave . " I'll handle it myself . " As Parker left my office , I leaned back in my chair , a predatory smile forming on my lips . The mountain retreat had been a waste of time . Cassandra's petty games with those photos had yielded nothing - nó reaction from Olivia at all . " Olivia , " I thought , a dark glint flashing in my eyes , " since you won't come find me , then this time , I'll come find you . " ( Olivia's POV ) The email notification chimed on my phone , drawing my attention away from the legal brief I'd been reviewing . My heart skipped when I saw the sender : Moonlaw Legal Services . I opened it immediately, scanning the contents with growing excitement . They were responding to my resume submission , asking if I could attend an interview the following day . " Yes ! " I whispered , quickly typing my acceptance . 1/3 < Chapter 29 Predators and +8 Points This was exactly what I needed - a fresh start away from Harbor City , away from Ethan Grey and all the painful memories . Moonlaw was known as the most prestigious law firm in Riverdale , with an excellent reputation throughout the legal industry . I began preparing immediately , reviewing my case notes and rehearsing potential interview questions . Working at Moonlaw for a few years would greatly benefit my future career advancement . More importantly , it would give me purpose beyond my complicated personal life . The next morning , I rose early , carefully selecting my outfit - a crisp white shirt beneath a black suit , the classic attire of a professional lawyer . I applied a light touch of makeup , just enough to look polished without appearing overdone . As I prepared to leave , I glanced around my temporary accommodations . If this job worked out , I'd need something more permanent . I recalled how , in my freshman year , my cousin Alexander Winters had gifted me a fully - furnished apartment complex just across from Riverdale University to ease my studies . The property had remained largely unused since I'd moved to Harbor City . Now , with Moonlaw nearby while my family pack house was over ten miles away , that apartment would be perfect . Living there alone , I could avoid facing my father Richard Winters and stepmother Natalie Winters , embracing the solitude and peace I desperately needed . The Moonlaw Legal Services headquarters was an impressive glass and steel structure in downtown Riverdale . I arrived fifteen minutes early , taking deep breaths to calm my nerves before entering . The receptionist directed me to a conference room where I was greeted by a formal interview panel consisting of HR manager Amber Foster and litigation supervisor Heather Phillips . " Miss Winters , thank you for coming in today , " Amber said warmly , gesturing for me to take a seat . Heather Phillips studied me with sharp , assessing eyes . She was in her late thirties with a sleek bob haircut and the unmistakable aura of a career - focused professional , 2/3 < Chapter 29 Predators and … +3 Points > " Your resume is quite impressive , " she noted , tapping my file . " Three years at Grey Law Center in Harbor City . Why leave such a prestigious position ? " I maintained eye contact , my voice steady . " I'm looking for new challenges and growth opportunities . Moonlaw's reputation for handling complex litigation is unparalleled . " The questions continued , ranging from my academic background to specific legal cases I'd handled . My prestigious education and solid experience allowed me to answer all their professional questions fluently and confidently . As the interview progressed , I noticed Heather's expression shifting from professional assessment to genuine interest . When we discussed salary expectations , I stated my requirements clearly , prepared for negotiation . To my surprise , Heather nodded immediately . " That's perfectly reasonable given your qualifications . We can match that exactly - base salary plus case commission ." The entire interview progressed more smoothly than I had dared hope . I had braced myself for tough bargaining over pay , yet the firm agreed readily to my terms . As I gathered my portfolio to leave , Heather smiled warmly . " Miss Winters , see you tomorrow . " I returned the smile politely , a weight lifting from my shoulders . " See you tomorrow . " ( Heather's POV ) I watched Olivia Winters walk confidently toward the elevator , her posture perfect , her movements graceful . Standing by the window , I sighed quietly with some regret . " What a pity . I actually quite admire this Miss Winters . " Comments Watch Ads ( 0/20 ) > Vote 259
